Q3 2026: Hawks Hits 598 Repairs, Alex C Out-Produces the Leader, and a Rookie Class Goes Century
Some quarters add a few lines to the record book. Q3 2026, running from July 1 to October 1, rewrote whole pages of it. A veteran pushed the all-time repair total to a new height, a newcomer out-produced him, and a rookie class reached triple digits almost in unison.
The milestone class
Shaphan Hawks started the quarter at 247 jobs, passed both 250 and 500, and finished at 598. All 598 are repairs. Alex C began with 93 jobs, crossed 100 and 250, and ended at 483, also all repairs. That is remarkable given that his first job was logged only on June 8.
Nick Harko joined with zero prior jobs, passed 50 and 100, and reached 157 by quarter's end, including 136 repairs. Victor Acosta went from 14 jobs to 107, clearing 50 and 100, and his monthly volume climbed steadily from 16 in July to 33 in August to 44 in September.
Veterans got their moments too. David Hair began at 97 jobs and reached 187, with a 49-job July pushing him past 100. His totals include 32 inspections, which count as field scouting rather than repairs. Luke Miller reached exactly 100 lifetime jobs after starting at 83. A 17-job September revived a career that had logged just 2 jobs in June and none in July or August.
Veteran meets rocket
The quarter's central story is Hawks against Alex C. Alex C logged 390 jobs in Q3 (133, 117 and 140), more than Hawks' 350 (96, 129 and 125). Yet Hawks still leads the all-time repair board, 598 to 483. Hawks grew from 62 jobs in June to 129 in August and 125 in September, and his 598 is the platform's top all-time repair total.
Behind them, third place belongs to Vasilii Kirillov of SET Appliance at 328 repairs, ahead of Danny Gutierrez (280) and Justin Nunn (278). The gap between Kirillov and Alex C in second place is 155.
The consistency champions
Hawks has logged jobs in 29 consecutive weeks, and the streak is still active. It is also his longest ever. Danny Gutierrez is on a 20-week active streak against a personal best of 35, so a 15-week climb would equal it. Alex C's streak stands at 17 weeks, equal to his entire platform history, while Victor Acosta (11) and Nick Harko (10) are also active.
Marco Palacios is on a 12-week active run. His career-best streak of 38 weeks is the longest in this data set.
Category climbs
The long-term trends were just as telling. GE washer jobs more than doubled, from 10 in June to 27 in August, then held at 24 in September. That is the most-logged brand and appliance pairing in Hawks' history. LG refrigerator jobs rose every month of the quarter, from 12 in July to 18 in August to 25 in September, a 108% gain. Whirlpool dryers moved from 16 in July to 14 in August, then rebounded to 20 in September. That is the highest monthly count since April's 19.
Looking ahead
Q3 brought a record-setting entry into the 500 Club, a new challenger out-producing the leader, and a Hawks streak that has now reached 29 weeks. The question for Q4 is whether Alex C can close the 115-job gap on Hawks.
